La Mauvaise Grève.

La Mauvaise Grève sits inside a sheltered bay at Moguériec, breaking over an uneven mix of reef and sand that generates more punch than the surrounding geography would imply. The peak throws up genuine A-frame options, with a bowly, steep face and occasional hollow sections driven by the shallow reef underneath. Boils surface across the lineup, hinting at the reef complexity below. Rides run to a useful 50-100m when the conditions stack up, though the wave has a medium pace rather than a race-to-the-exit speed. It handles the full tidal range, making it workable throughout the day. The spot needs a solid NW swell — westerly through northerly angles can funnel into the bay, and without a decent swell pulse the break can sit flat for extended periods. A southerly wind cleans the face up well given the bay's orientation. Wave heights in the 0.6-2.4m range are the working window, with the better days sitting in the mid-range where the reef organises the energy most effectively. Access is straightforward from the camping ground directly fronting the spot, with a car park available. Exposed rocks demand attention before paddling out — a scan of the lineup at the water's edge is worthwhile regardless of tide. Crowds sit at a moderate level, typical for a semi-known Brittany bay break.

Reef-and-sand A-frames that punch harder than Moguériec's shelter suggests.
